Casita Spirit 17

Standard or Deluxe The fiberglass trailer that keeps the decision simple: one 17-foot shell, two layouts. Casita lists the Spirit at a starting dry weight of 2,260 pounds before options, with a 3,500-pound GVWR, so even loaded to its rating it sits well inside a midsize SUV's tow rating. The Standard has front bunks and sleeps up to five, which suits a family with young kids; the Deluxe sleeps up to three and gives a couple more living space. Casita does not publish a hitch weight, so put a tongue scale under it before you plan your payload.
